DIY Cheeryness

Today I'm in an irrationally bad mood if truth be told. I think I'm coming down with a cold; my throat is sore, my head is fuggy and I feel a bit irritable - in general my week has gone well so I'm going to write a post about how good things actually are along with some cheery pictures in an attempt to psyche myself out of it.

I landed a big client this week; it was someone who I first met last July and they recently called me to ask if I was interested in taking them on as a client. The starting fee is remarkably good so this means that I should be able to save money and move a lot quicker than I thought; I'm very excited about it but I've always been an impatient person so it can't happen soon enough frankly!

I'm also leaning back towards getting a cat when I move because, as much as I'd love a dog, it is such a huge decision that it needs to be right.

One of my landlady's cats has kind of adopted me and we snuggle up together on the duvet; but sometimes I miss my own cats so much that I can barely breathe. As much as I'm fond of this cat, it turns out you don't really have the same kind of connection if it's not yours. Having a cat brought me such happiness that it just made everything else ok; I can't say I'm lonely, but without my own pet I must admit that I sometimes feel alone.

My freelancing business is going very well (despite this being a month of skintness) I've worked extremely hard and am enjoying a level of freedom that I once only dreamed of having.

Today I'm writing the final newsletter copy for a new networking group that I'm launching in February, and I also completed my very first tax return yesterday - so am now an official bona fide grown-up!

That's about it really; my family, although often infuriating, somewhat insane and useless with technology are all healthy and love me, my social life is as busy as I want it, I have some good friends and, apart from the sniffles and a dodgy back I'm in good health - I could do with losing some weight but overall it could be worse.

Well, I'm happy to report that I do actually feel much better now; I think a quick burst of some perky music and the jobs a good 'un!
